3) SBI Merger with five associate banks:-
Beneficial for the companies and Economy:-
SBI had approved separate schemes of acquisition of State Bank of
Patiala and State Bank of Hyderabad. There will not be any share
swap or cash outgo as they are wholly-owned by the SBI.
Despite having second largest population country, no Indian bank is
in the list of top 50 world's largest bank. With this merger SBI will
become 44th largest bank in the world by assets
The merger of SBI and its associate banks will result in the
network increase of SBI and its reach would multiply.
After the amalgamation, it can withstand the strong competition
from private sector banks and can accumulate more resources to
channelize trained manpower across its branches.
The merger benefits include getting economies of scale and
reduction in the cost of doing business.
Branch rationalization, if executed well, would be one of the key
synergy benefits from the merger.
Currently, no Indian bank features in the top 50 banks of the world.
With this merger, visibility at global level is likely to increase.
Indian Government has decided to merge the PSU banks under
SBI. Well this decision is more extroversive because it has both
Pros and Cons. Firstly after the amalgamation it can withstand the
strong competition from private sector banks and can accumulate
more resources to channelize trained manpower across its
branches. Secondly in terms of cost cutting, instead of setting up
new branches, it can utilize the already existing branches of its
child banks. But if you look at the other side it might not be
beneficiary for the employees because factors like experience,
promotions, hikes come into picture. Now currently SBI is dwelled
with lots of debts in terms of non-performing assets whereas banks
like SBH , SBP are in profits. So, there will be an extra burden on
these child banks if the amalgamation takes place.
Strong presence in nook and corner of the country.
Capital adequacy will improve requiring less capital infusion by
government.
Adoption of development of technologies in associate banks will
be faster.
SBI 's reach and network will multiply, efficiency will likely to
increase with the rationalization of branches.
With this merger SBI will be able to finance more and more
mammoth projects that will lead to economic development of the
country.
The merged entity will be able to tap into cheaper funds more
easily and it will also be able to rationalize the branches all over
the country, to cut down the operation costs.
The bigger the bank, the better is the diversification of its assets
portfolio and lesser chances that the bank will fail in the system.
Impact of SBI merger on SBI - SBI merger impact: 47% of
associate banks' offices to shut down State Bank of India (SBI),
which will see five associate banks merge into it on April 1, has
decided to shut down almost half the offices of these banks,
including the head offices of three of them. This process will start
from April 24. "Out of the five head offices of the associate banks,
we will retain only two. Three head offices of the associate banks
will be unbound along with 27 zonal offices, 81 regional offices
and 11 network offices of the associate banks," SBI Managing
Director Dinesh Kumar Khara told IANS in an interview. "We will
keep their structure in place till April 24 and, post that, we will
start dismantling the associate banks' controlling offices, which
includes head offices, regional offices, zonal offices and network
offices". The five associate banks that will merge with SBI are:
SBBJ (State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur), SBM (State Bank of
Mysore), SBT (State Bank of Travancore), SBP (State Bank of
Patiala) and SBH (State Bank of Hyderabad). SBI is India's largest
bank with assets of Rs 30.72 lakh crore and figures at No. 64 in the
global ranking of banks (as of December 2015; December 2016
ranking is still awaited). Post-merger, with assets of approximately
Rs 40 lakh crore, it will be among the top 50 banks in the world.
SBI Chief Economist Soumya Kanti Ghosh told IANS that, post-
merger, the bank will be at No. 45.
The shut-down move is to avoid overlapping offices in the same
area and "we intend to remove any kind of duplicity in the
controlling structure". The five associate banks will cease to exist
as legal entities and become a part of SBI from April 1, but the
various merger processes will start only after April 24, once the
balance sheets of the five entities are audited and added.
Great deal it may be, but it has its risks. One reason is that telecom
deals have been controversial in recent times. This goes back to
late last year when the government sold pan-India licenses for $333
million apiece, amid a welter of controversy.
